It's possible that user input could be passed into the confirm form message, or into any of the strings used by batch_set(), so to be safe we should sanitize against XSS.

This is essentially a backport of a very small subset the changes proposed here: http://drupal.org/node/242873

see attached for my analysis which suggests that there is currently no apparent security hole due to batch_set() in the contributed modules.

Here's the patch - uses filter_xss() or filter_admin_xss().

per Heine - we should improve the doxygen, but oterwise trust these strings.
